By 1970 he had become a mainstay of the first team of Centralista; his sobriety in marking added to his dribbling and great deployment to attack on the right side transformed him into an irreplaceable footballer. He formed a great partnership in that sector of the field with Aldo Poy and Ramón Bóveda . In that year he was crowned runner-up of the National , falling in a controversial final against Boca Juniors . In this way he managed to qualify Central for the 1971 Copa Libertadores , the first participation of Canalla in an official international tournament.
